Too much effort cannot be made to bring
TO the attention OF suffering womanhood the
great value Of Lydia f. Pinkhsm's Vegetable
Compound as a remedy for the diseases Of
women. Such an one is the wife OF General
Barringer, Of Winston, n. c., and we quote
from the Generals letter as follows: Dear
Mrs. Pinkham: Please allow me TO add my
testimony TO the most excellent medicinal
qualities OF your Vegetable Compound. Mrs.
Barringer was treated for several years for
what the physician called Leucorrhea and
Prolapsus Uteri combined. | sent her to
Richmond, Va, where she remained for six
months under the treatment Of an eminent
physician without any permanent benefit
She was induced 10 try your medicine and
after a reasonable time commenced 10 inn

ness and considers herself fully reiiered.

Devil Fish.

''Some of the biggest 'squids' or devil
fish that have ever been caught" said an
old sailor. "have been found around
West India Islands in the Gulf of Mexico

a little chunk of sugar drougher, as the
vessels in that trade are called, and was
bound from New York to Jamaica.
There was fever at the time, so we laid
of in the roads and the bark was loaded
BY coolies with lighters. As we could
not go ashore, we rugged sails In the
long boat and used to cruise around
through the little islands hunting for
turtles and eggs. One day we towed
the dingy behind the long boat, intend
ing to split the party at one of the
islands. When we reached the big ISL
and, we separated, part staying on the
island and some of the men taking the
two boats and going to other islands. l
and two men stayed on DEVILS Rock and
hunted around Tor whatever we could
find. About 100 yards off was a small
rock, where the dlngy and her crews had
gone. We could see the boat tied up
and the men loafng around the island.
We got tired and sang out to them to
come over and get US. They started
to the boat and pushed her OF,
wading out little way to keep clear of
the rocks Just covered at high tide. All
of a sudden one of them uttered fear
full scream, and something blueiEh rose
out of the water and encircled his body
and neck. lie drew his knife and
slashed at it, when another arm arose.
1t was 'squid. The other fellow was
nearer the shore and was Just stepping
out Of the water, when two long feelers
wriggled up and around his legs, and in
another minute he too, wa, being drawn
under the water. Their shrieks and cries
were pitiful, but we could do nothing.
We had no boat and the other party were
not in sight. The men fought bravely,
but to no end. What could they do
against fifty arms, from ten to twenty
feet long, each with a grasp Of steel.
Slowly but surely they were first crushed
to death and then dragged down. Their
lighting seemed TO have maddened the
creature, for shortly after the men dis
appeared the long blue arms wound
themselves around the little boat and
crushed it as you would a nutshell be-
ween your fingers. The horror we felt
at the bare sight of the poor fellows

Anderson went up tonim

Washington. Anderson went up to him
and said
Il reckon we had better take you,
too. suppose you are Union manT
"Rollins, who was q meek looking fel-
low. replied
" No; am a minister of the Gospel.
l have taken no part in the war at all. .
Anderson said he wasn't killing preach
ers, and the Congressman escaped,
though it is certain that if any man in
the bloodthirsty crowd had recognized
him he would have been shot instantly.
"Once Anderson and his men dashed
into Fayette and surprised 200 Federal
troops who were encamped there. They
drove the Federals out of the trenches
which they had built around the court
house, and finally forced Them into the
courthouse. They then rode at full tilt
around the square four of five times,
firing into the windows of the court
house Marks of their bullets are still
visible on the walls and window-sills OF
the building
Anderson never left Missouri during
the war. Only once or twice did he
fight with the regular Confederate army,
and then it was by accident. He refused
to obey orders from anybody, and fol-
lowed his own wild and bloody career
in his own fearful way. At last he met
his death after hundred almost miracu-
lous escapes. His last battle was fought
after Lee had surrendered and the news
had reached Missouri. Anderson knew
that he would not be allowed to sur
render and that he would be hung if he
was taken alive His plan was to es-
cape with his men into Texas and then
make his way to Mexico. When he was
trying to get out of Missouri he was one
night surrounded by several hundred
Federal militia. As he led his men in
desperate effort to break through the
enemy's ranks he was shot in the neck,
fell off his horse, and died in a few
Not another one of his band
was killed. They shot their way through,
killing twenty-five or thirty of the
Federals.
"Most of them did get to Texas, where
they disbanded and scattered in all di-
rections. This is, IN brief, the bloody
story of Bill Anderson and his band OF

Gambling For Railroads.

Talking about poker stories, said a
railroad man, let me tell you one. Did
you ever hear Of two railroads being won
in pot at poker2 Well, | have, and III
tell YOU about it. Fifteen years or so
ago two little railroads, one in Illinois
and one in Missouri, were owned by two
men who had some business relations
which brought them together in st.
Louis. One owned one railroad, or a
controlling share Of the stock, and the
other owned the other road. When they
met at the old Planters House in St
Louis, they, with some friends, sat
down one evening 10 a little game of
poker. At first the stakes were small,
but as the players warmed up the limit
was raised, and finally removed al
together The pace got so hot that all
the players but these two railroad men
dropped out. 1t was a game for blood
Fortune varied first one way and then
another, and finally they played a jAckel
in which the opener was promptly raised
$500 and was then raised himself back.
Before a card was drawn the pot held
50, 500. I ach drew one card, and in a
few minutes both players had all their
money on the table. Then they put up
their railroad shares in good sized blocks,
until when the call was made a controll-
ing interest was represented in the pot.
Each man had gone in with two pairs,
and each had filed The Missouri man
had the better hand The railroads
which figured in this game were little
country affairs, and both were afterward
absorbed into the Gould system. -
